Can sample at a tasting at troubles’ place. Thanks troubles. Hazy yellow. Nice fruity hops, "green", a bit of graininess, quite dry, moderately bitter. Good and refreshing.

Tap at Slow Beer Fitzroy, Melbourne. Poured a hazy straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, grassy peachy citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a crisp, fresh, juicy citrus, light tart, light floral hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can on yet another hot night after summer should be gone. Opaque yellow with less than a coat of white head. Looks like a fruit juice.Smells strongly of stinky overripe mango, funky wheat notes behind. You’d want to be keener on mangoes than I am. But it sits in the mix much more upon a sip. Light bodied with mango, lemons and their blossoms, some passionfruit. Wheaty tang only just nudges towards sour and the salt is just enough to register right at the end. Nicely done. Really refreshing.
